Shortcut Methods

Shortcut Methods and Tricks to Solve Numericals on Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators:

For JEE Exams:

  • 1. Use the formula: R∝L/A

  • New Resistance = 4R

  • 2. Dynamic Resistance (rd) = (Change in Voltage)/(Change in Current)

  • 3. Capacitance (C) =εA/d

  • 4. Conductivity (σ) = 1/Resistivity

  • 5. Collector Current (Ic) = Common-emitter Current Gain (β) × Base Current (Ib)

  • 6. Maximum Power Output (Pmax) = Efficiency (η) × Incident Light Power (Pin)

For CBSE Board Exams:

  • 1. Resistance (R) is directly proportional to the length (L) of the conductor.

  • 2. Temperature coefficient of resistance (α) = ((R2-R1)/(R1×∆T))

  • 3. Capacitance (C) of a parallel-plate capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance (d) between the plates.

  • 4. Resistance (R) of a metal wire is directly proportional to its length (L).

  • 5. Dynamic Resistance (rd) = (Change in Voltage)/(Change in Current)

  • 6. Collector Current (Ic) = Common-emitter Current Gain (β) × Base Current (Ib)

  • 7. Conductivity (σ) = 1/Resistivity
